Book reading and signing with author/poet, Isaac Chavarria

“Poxo”

This collection of poetry
revisits those uprooted and attempting to adjust to life in the United States,
and walks into the lives of the barrio-colonia where canals, orange groves, and
streets intersect. It settles in the mexclado of raza: anglos, tejanos, im
migrants, chican@s, transients, y mas. Welcome to un topsy turvy poxo world,
where the fl awed and perfect speak the same.

Isaac Chavarría is a
proud pocho with an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Texas-Pan
American. He enjoys assisting non-profit organizations in producing chapbooks
for workshop participants. His publications are included in The Acentos Review and Rio Grande Review
online, with a collection of poetry titled poxo
forthcoming from Slough Press. Ultimately, he hopes the term pocho will
represent a positive identity rather than a pejorative.

I would like to invite anyone interested to take the Paragraphs on Padre Blvd. Online Survey. I will be using the information collected to create a bookstore environment that will become a real asset to the South Padre Island community. Paragraphs will really be your bookstore, so make your opinion count!
